Licensing AHFS Drug Information Databases

Integrate AHFS into your clinical decision support systems

For over four decades pharmacists, physicians and other clinicians have turned to AHFS for the definitive word on drugs, interactions, dosages, toxicity and cautions. The AHFS database now can be licensed by healthcare information system developers in formats and with content areas specific to organizational requirements.

Unbiased analysis and meticulous detail set AHFS data apart from other drug information data providers. AHFS drug information is evidence-based, peer reviewed, and compiled and evaluated by ASHP, a professional pharmacy association without the influence of manufacturers, insurer, regulators, or other interested parties.  No other leading drug information resource can make this claim.
